I did not know much about him nor his views...Like yourself I just liked the show, and when it was on the world still seemed kinda normal from a kids’ point of view!

The one show I saw of CSI: Miami was definitely not conservative. Some of the others also should not be on list. Too many shows today push values I would not want my kids to copy.

I would vote for ***"Touched by an Angel"***
Too old to count in this poll but fun shows: "The Untouchables" with Robert Stack, "Lassie" (still appearing in reruns) and "The Gray Ghost"

The article apparently has confused "conservative" with "not 100% liberal 100% of the time". Anything less is conservative? Puh-leeeze.

The presence of an allegedly conservative character (e.g. Alex P. Keaton, Family Ties) in no way makes a show conservative. Quite the opposite, usually.

If a conservative, moral or patriotic character isn't portrayed as downright evil, he is invariably portrayed as an ignorant, idiotic buffoon.

Examples abound, but since I have not watched network TV regularly since the 1970s or early 1980s I'll stick with the era I know: Archie Bunker, Frank Burns (MASH), Les Nessman/Arthur Carlson (WKRP in Cincinnati), Cliff Klaven (Cheers), Inspector Frank Lugar (Barney Miller), Mr. Roper (Three's Company)....

Any figure of authority, particularly military, is obviously a dimwit and a violent jarhead (according to Hollywood). Any religious person - as long as their religion is Christianity - is either evil or stupid and worthy of ridicule. Adherents of any other religious are sacrosanct, irrespective of their inclination towards terrorism or other anti-American behavior.

Somehow I don't suppose these "rules" that the tribe who controls Hollywood plays by have changed for the better since the 70s and 80s. And if you want to see even starker examples, forget the TV shows - just watch the *commericals*.

“Home Improvement.” Watch the beginnings and ends of scenes — the family enters, all dressed up — they’ve been to church. Didn’t have anything to do with the story, but it set up how this mom and dad were raising their kids.

A landmark episode featured astronauts — real astronauts. Nice tribute to the space program and what America owes them.

Granted the creators (conservatives all) departed after season 3 to write other pilots and left the show in the lesser hands of the usual hacky libby Hollywood suspects... but it was a fun show while it lasted.
